It is used with success for anxiety. Have you ever taken citalopram before? You may not have a choice, docs aren't prescribing benzos like they used to because of the government interference and the things that are done to them if they prescribe them. You're going to have to stay open a bit and not just write off about 3 whole classes of drugs before you try them.

Hi, try not to worry. I would suggest giving it a go, keep an open mind... I take Citalopram, have done for about 4 years, and it has made such a (positive) difference to my life. The rough bit is getting through the first 4 (give or take) weeks, while you are getting used to the medication. But it is worth it long term. It can be very successful for panic attacks, as well as depression, and to some extent, anxiety. Let us know what you decide, and if you want any more questions answered...
